How do you strike a balance between executing on your vision and the lindy wisdom to “just talk to your users”?

I've found talking to users (or customers, people in general) incredibly useful for "problem finding", and not useful for "solution finding"

Once I've found a worthy problem, I get to work on coming up with experimental solutions

I like to remind myself that it's not the customer's responsibility to solve the problem, it's ours. 

Customers tend to be so close (and accustomed) to a problem they face that they can't see the problem/solution from a fresh perspective
